Hitler's ideology of power

"When people attempt to rebel against the iron logic of Nature, they come into conflict with the very same principles to which they owe their existence as human beings. Their actions against Nature must lead to their own downfall.

My spirit will rise from the grave and the world will see i was right.

I begin with the young. We older ones are used up but my magnificent youngsters! Are there finer ones anywhere in the world? Look at all these men and boys! What material! With you and I, we can make a new world.

He who would live must fight. He who doesn't wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.

Sparta must be regarded as the first völkisch state. The exposure of the sick, weak, deformed children, in short, their destruction, was more decent and in truth a thousand times more human than the wretched insanity of our day which preserves the most pathological subject.

Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.

The Western democracy of today is the forerunner of Marxism which without it would not be thinkable. It provides this world plague with the culture in which its germs can spread.

Gods and beasts, that is what our world is made of.

Obstacles do not exist to be surrendered to, but only to be broken.

The amount of money that is in your bank at the time of your death is the extra work you did which wasn't necessary.

Reading is not an end to itself, but a means to an end.

Instruction in world history in the so-called high schools is even today in a very sorry condition. Few teachers understand that the study of history can never be to learn historical dates and events by heart and recite them by rote; that what matters is not whether the child knows exactly when this battle or that was fought, when a general was born, or even when a monarch (usually a very insignificant one) came into the crown of his forefathers. No, by the living God, this is very unimportant. To 'learn' history means to seek and find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.

The only preventative measure one can take is to live irregularly.

As in everything, nature is the best instructor.

Though I then rebelled against it as too hard a fate, I am grateful that I was thrown into a world of misery and poverty and thus came to know the people for whom I was afterwards to fight.

Posterity will not remember those who pursued only their own individual interests, but it will praise those heroes who renounced their own happiness.

If a government uses the instruments of power in its hands for the purpose of leading a people to ruin, then rebellion is not only the right but also the duty of every individual citizen.

He who does not wish to fight in this world, where permanent struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.

Man has become great through perpetual struggle. In perpetual peace his greatness must decline.

Do not compare yourself to others. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.

He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.

Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

The man who is born to be a dictator is not compelled. He wills it. He is not driven forward, but drives himself.

I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature.

If you wish the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things.

Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state.

If you dont like a Rule... Just Follow it.. Reach on the Top.. and Change the Rule

It is better to make a mistake than to do nothing.

The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.

I'll put an end to the idea that a woman's body belongs to her... Nazi ideals demand that the practice of abortion shall be exterminated with a strong hand.

A man who has no sense of history is like a man who has no ears or no eyes.

Life is like a game, there could be many players. If you don't play with them, they'll play with you.

Life does not forgive weakness.

What we suffer from today is an excess of education.

To attain our aim we should stop at nothing even if we must join forces with the devil.

If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain!

The one means that wins the easiest victory over reason is terror and force.

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.

Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election.

Our strategy is to destroy the enemy from within, to conquer him through himself.

Only force rules. Force is the first law.

Your birth may be common, But death must be history.

Cruelty impresses, people want to be afraid of something. They want someone to whom they can submit with a shudder, the masses need that. They need something to dreed.

The truth is the best propaganda.

By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.

I have not come into this world to make men better, but to make use of their weaknesses.

 

Society's needs come before the individuals needs.

You will never learn what I am thinking. And those who boast most loudly that they know my thought, to such people I lie even more.

Money glitters, beauty sparkles, and intelligence shines.

Belief is harder to shake than knowledge.

The work that Christ started but could not finish, I - Adolf Hitler - will conclude.

God helps only those who are prepared and determined to help themselves.

Pacifism is simply undisguised cowardice.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure.

Anyone can deal with victory. Only the mighty can bear defeat.

Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice.

I want everyone to keep the property that he has acquired for himself according to the principle: benefit to the community precedes benefit to the individual. But the state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property.

But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.

I began to study again, and now for the first time really achieved an understanding of the content of the Jew Karl Marx's life effort. Only now did his Capital become really intelligible to me, and also the struggle of the Social Democracy against the national economy, which aims only to prepare the ground for the domination of truly international finance and stock exchange capital.

Wipe out the entire defense potential remaining to the Soviets.

This fire is the beginning.

Germany is prepared to agree to any solemn pact of non-aggression, because she does not think of attacking but only acquiring security.

What is necessary is to teach each class and profession the importance of the others. All together form one mighty body; labourer, peasant, and professional man.

We have made it possible, without gold and without foreign exchange, to maintain the value of the German mark. Behind the German mark stands the German capacity for work, while some foreign countries, suffocated by gold, have been compelled to devalue their currencies.

It is eastwards, only and always eastwards, that the veins of our race must expand. It is the direction which Nature herself has decreed for the expansion of the German peoples.

The wage of a people has meaning only when it arises from production. Every increase in production should benefit the whole people and raise the people's standards of living.

To fight, we must have oil for our machine.

The whole of education should be designed so as to occupy a boy's free time in cultivation of his body. He has no right to loaf about idly; but after his day's work is done, he ought to harden his young body, so that life may not find him soft when he enters it. No one should be allowed to sin at the expense of posterity, that is, of the race.

People have killed only when they could not achieve their aim in other ways there is a broadened strategy, with intellectual weapons why should I demoralize the enemy by military means if I can do so better and more cheaply in other ways?

When the German people trusting to the promises made by President Wilson in his Fourteen Points, laid down their arms in November 1918, a fateful struggle thereby came to an end for which perhaps individual statesmen, but certainly not the peoples themselves could be held responsible.

The German nation put up such an heroic fight because it was sincere in its conviction that it had been wrongfully attacked and was therefore justified in fighting. the Peace Treaty of Versailles did not seem to be for the purpose of restoring peace to mankind, but rather to perpetuate hatred.

The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.

There is nothing great in the world that does not owe its origin to the creative ability of an individual man.

In the really good periods of German life the German woman never needed to emancipate herself.

The sin against blood and race is the hereditary sin in this world and it brings disaster on every nation that commits it.

What we have to fight for...is the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the Creator.

The spark of a genius exists in the brain of the truly creative man from the hour of his birth. True genius is always inborn and never cultivated, let alone learned.

The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed.

We need free men who feel and know that God is in themselves.

If Nature does not wish that weaker individuals should mate with the stronger, she wishes even less that a superior race should intermingle with an inferior one; because in such a case all her efforts, throughout hundreds of thousands of years, to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being, may thus be rendered futile."
